Ink Stroke Birthday Wishes - Simon Says Stamp March 2026 Card Kit

Good morning! I'm dropping by to share another card using the newest March 2026 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Watercolor Bouquet! This month's kit is an explosion of spring colors and flowers! The included stamp set by the same name has some beautiful solid floral and greenery elements, perfect for all kinds of watercolor techniques. There are some tags, foam squares, sentiment strips, ink cubes, and that's all not to mention the watercolor paper, envelopes, and more! And, there are  some great add on items available that coordinate wonderfully with this kit, and are live in the store now as well!

The monthly card kit has even more perks now when you sign up for the Subscription service! There is a video HERE you can watch to learn more! 

For this card, I had fun with the amazing ink cube bundle in the kit! I adore the colors in this pack - so fresh and bright! I've included the colors in full size pads in the link list below, but obviously this technique used the cubes. :) I swiped them directly onto a panel of white cardstock, which gave a lovely and sketchy watercolor effect. Then, I grabbed one of the tiny flowers in the Watercolor Bouquet stamp set and stamped some of them tone on tone over each section. It gives a lovely bit of muted texture! Then, I grabbed the ink splatter image from the same stamp set, and stamped it all over in White Pigment ink to add even more texture and interest. I added a sentiment from XL EZ Reverse Basics Sentiments strips, die cut with the separately available XL EZ Strips Banners die. The secondary sentiment is from another separately available set - Basic Brushstroke Greetings - stamped in Nocturne ink then heat embossed with clear ink for some fun shine. I popped that entire panel up with foam on a white cardbase, then finished off with a few tiny Clear Dazzling Gems in the flower centers! all together, it pairs perfectly with the Metallic Doll Pink envelope included with the kit!

Layered Birthday Florals - Simon Says Stamp March 2026 Card Kit

Hello! I'm dropping by to share my first card using the newest March 2026 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Watercolor Bouquet! This month's kit is an explosion of spring color and flowers! The included stamp set by the same name has some beautiful solid floral and greenery elements, perfect for all kinds of watercolor techniques. There are some tags, foam squares, sentiment strips, ink cubes, and that's all not to mention the watercolor paper, envelopes, and more! And, there are  some great add on items available that coordinate wonderfully with this kit, and are live in the store now as well!

For this card, I stamped a bunch of the florals and greenery from the Watercolor Bouquet with the included ink cubes in the kit. The colors are so bright and fun! I used my MISTI to stamp each image, stamping first in my main color, then slightly inking around the edges in a deeper color, blending the lines with a blending brush, and restamping over the top. This gave a fun faux watercolor effect! I used the Fog cardbase in the kit, as well as one of the tags, and arranged my florals on the side. I also put one of the add on items to use - Basic Brushstroke Greetings - for the sentiment. I tied a bit of the Jute String at the top of the tag, and embellished with a few Clear Dazzling Gems to finish this card off! Here is a closer look at all the fun details on this card:

Falling Hearts Hello Friends Cards - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! Last week there was another Create Together class on the Simon Says Stamp YouTube channel, this time with Jennifer McGuire and Simon Says Stamps own Heidi Crowl (you can check the video out HERE). There was an amazing class kit, and the kit items are also available separately. I fell in love with a couple items from the class, and thought it would be fun to play with them a bit and create my own cards! If you picked up the kit, I hope this gives you a bit of extra inspiration as you play with it!

The background die I used is on SALE with lots of other items in celebration of Valentine's Day! You can check out the items HERE if you want to see more - so many fun things and discounts!

The new Falling Hearts coverplate die is AMAZING! I have a feeling I will be using it a lot in the future! For these cards, I thought it would be extra fun to do monochromatic backgrounds by die cutting the panel from a lighter color cardstock, then backing it with a deeper color. I used a couple shades of Concord and 9th cardstock to do this, and adhered the layers together with foam adhesive. The main sentiment is from another class kit item - Good Greetings 1, stamped and die cut with the coordinating die. Before adding those, I wrapped around some White May Arts ribbon, and tied it in a bow on the side. I added that sentiment with foam adhesive, then added a secondary sentiment to each card from EZ Strips Reverse Love sentiment strips. Finally, I adhered those entire panels onto white cardbases! Here is a closer look at these two cards:

Wildflower Notecard Set - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! I'm super excited to share a fun notecard set using one of my favorite sets from Simon Says Stamp. I love making cards in sets, and this set makes me smile with the fresh colors, dainty florals, and simple layers!

The Butterfly Blossoms set includes a coordinating stencil, and it makes it so fun to color these florals in! While you can blend multiple layers of color on each stencil, it makes it super easy to color them with monochromatic tones! I stamped the florals in a light colored ink, leaving the stamps lined up in my stamp positioner, then blended one color onto each flower image before restamping over the top with crisp black ink for a super clear image! I used Cantaloupe, Carnation, Tropic, and Amethyst inks. I die cut them with the coordinating dies, and stamped and die cut the sentiments from the set as well. To create something to ground the images, I used  one of the Domed Arches stencil set and the same ink colors to blend a little background on each card. I then adhered the florals, alternating the colors on each card, and adhering with a bit of liquid glue to hold it in place. I added the sentiments with foam adhesive strips, and finished off with some coordinating Dazzling gems in Peachy, Bubblegum, Lilac, and Surf! Here are more photos of this finished set of cards:

Felt Heart Cascading Card - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! I've been loving adding felt onto my cards lately - it's just so fun to die cut and add fun texture! I used some new felt I recently got from Simon Says Stamp, and paired it with some other fun supplies to make this card perfect for Valentine's day, or any day!

For this card I used the Lots of Hearts die without the coordinating stamp set, and some Benzie felt from the Everbloom palette. Lots of fun pink options that worked together perfectly for this card! I cut varying sizes and colors to mix and match together. I die cut the Double Plaid coverplate die, and before adhering to my white cardbase I blended a bit of Guava ink over the left side. I arranged those felt hearts, adhering them with liquid glue, and then stamped a sentiment from Lockets of Love, and popped that up with thin foam adhesive strips. I added a little white twine bow and a good sprinkle of Dazzling Clear gems to finish off! Here are more photos of this finished card:

Filled with Peace - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! Today I'm sharing a clean and simple sympathy card that is nearly one layer. I used a beautiful floral die from Simon Says Stamp that I recently ordered and hadn't had a chance to put to use, and paired it with a simple sentiment. I also used some of the most recently released ink colors from SSS - and I love how well the colors worked together!

I used the Elegant Blossom Branch die, and cut it from white cardstock. I used my Tacky Mat to hold the pieces in place, and then ink blended some color on with Shell, Wheat, and Shark inks - all some of the more recently released colors! I blended a bit of the Shell ink on the two corners of a white cardbase, then adhered the ink blended floral branch onto my card with tiny dots of liquid adhesive. I stamped my sentiment from Graceful Swans, rounded off a couple corners of the card, and then added a little sprinkle of the tiniest Clear Dazzling Gems to finish off! Here are more photos of the finished card:
